Cardenas R.R. #2
Starr County · Rincon (Vicksburg Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Cardenas R.R. #2 (API 42-427-32067) is a well in Starr County operated by Mountain V Texas LLC, completed October 30, 1994 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2004.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1985 and 1994, permitted to 8,217 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Mountain V Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.38K barrels of oil and 227K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
